Not all lip-colors are created equal. Some fade and feather in the blink of an eye, others flake and dry and quickly become uncomfortable. Then there are the best of the bunch – which last for long hours and hold up under the worst pressure. When you’re looking for the right lip color to wear on a date, you don’t want to worry about reapplying or smudging. While few lip colors are truly kiss-proof, there are some that hold up far better than others. We’ve collected a few of our favorites of all types.

NYX – Full Throttle Lipstick
Matte and liquid lipsticks are not for everyone, this collection from NYX offers high color payoff and long-lasting times without dryness. It isn’t the most transfer-proof of the bunch, but the color has a staining and hydrating effect that will leave your lips looking great all day long.

Wet N Wild
Like the NYX option, Wet N Wild is a hydrating alternative that will leave a gorgeous stain of color and comfortable texture. We love this affordable option as it comes in a wide range of colors and is available almost anywhere.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick
When it comes to liquid lipsticks, Anastasia Beverly Hills has one of our all-time favorite formulas. Along with being lightweight and non-drying, this line is easy to apply and doesn’t feather.

Fenty Beauty Lip Paint
It’s no surprise that Fenty Beauty would be on our top list for kiss-proof lipstick. This formula is out of this world and so comfortable you’ll forget you’re wearing it.

KISS New York – Matte Liquid Lipstick
When you’re looking for a great liquid lipstick, there is often a hefty price tag attached – unless you’re looking at KISS. These stunning colors offer comfort and lasting power at highly reasonable prices. You’ll want one in every color!
